10 Years – from Project 2Rs to 3R

Looking back at the past 10 years, this Project has undergone a metamorphosis from 2Rs to 3R (Note 1).
As a pioneer project of wholistic care for children and youth in residential homes, the Committee Board Members and Superintendents of three agencies including Evangel Children’s Home, Precious Blood Children’s Village and Sisters of the Good Shepherd formulated proposals and procedures, looked for cooperation partners and funders to help support this project. Their vision to extend such all-rounded care to the 4,000 admitted residential children in Hong Kong still exist.

2024 marked the 10th anniversary of this Project. From 2Rs to 3R, we whole-heartedly thank all our funders (Note 2), the medical team of our cooperation partner (Note 3), caseworkers and caretakers for their love and concern to the children. We hope our services have given new insight to our cases especially on the value of priceless health.
Throughout these 10 years, there was not much change to the referral procedures and service scope. However, we tried reaching out to the public by means of industry-wide sharing sessions, exhibitions, casebook publishing, media promotion (e.g. newspaper, radio broadcast) and university research publication (Note 4), striving with hope for long term support from the Government and The Community Care Fund.

Right after the difficult times of 2019 to 2023 when hope seemed frail, good news came one after another—2Rs casebook “Children Who Survived the Storm” won two major awards (listed below). This encouraging news confirmed that our efforts were not in vain, the public still cared about the residential children and youth. It thus motivated us to strive forward continuously.

1. Publishing Award in the Inspiration & Motivational Category of the 3rd Hong Kong Publishing Biennial Awards
2. Hong Kong Reading City – The 19th Top Ten Book Pick – Secondary Students’ Best 10 Books (10th Place)

The new chapter starting 2021 also brought a new name: 2Rs was upgraded to 3R, further solidifying the close relationship with our cooperation partner through ups and downs! March 2026 marked the end of Project 3R. Agency management reassured that “our historical mission is complete!” We then focused on arranging necessary referrals and prescriptions, officially bidding farewell. We wish the children and youth in the residential homes continued access to timely and appropriate assessments and treatment, and unfolding fulfilling lives!

ECH 70th Anniversary｜Connecting Family Love Across Eras｜Short Videos

In 2026, Evangel Children’s Home celebrates its 70th anniversary. To mark this occasion, we have connected with alumni (former residents) from all over the world to launch a series of celebratory events under the theme “70th Anniversary Celebration — “Love • Fulfillment • Wholeness” This groundbreaking initiative united the love of alumni residents, children, staff, and colleagues from different eras, creating wonderful collective memories.

Homecoming Fun Day

Hundreds of alumni (former residents) and former staff returned home for a joyful reunion, bringing together “family” from different generations. Former residents and their relatives visited their “homes in the old days”, that were filled with childhood memories. Many of them made special trips from overseas to Hong Kong to reminisce, creating a touching scene.

Platinum Jubilee – Alumni Homecoming Gala Dinner

Alumni, guests, current residents, and staff gathered to celebrate, embodying the “inheritance of love”, “family love” and “gratitude.” Love ambassador Ms. Jade Kwan and guest speaker Mr. Kimman Wong’s sharing and inspiration through hymns and testimony was encouraging. The officiating guests kicked off the launch ceremony of 70 Life Stories. Alumni from overseas shared their heartfelt gratitude for the love and support they received from the Evangel Children’s Home.

《Set Sights on the Ideal Realm》- Natalie

Natalie (alias) had to receive foster care services since birth as her mother was unsuitable to take care of her. The foster family lived peacefully until she entered the turbulent adolescence. Such dramatic changes finally resulted in the arrangement of her placement in a children’s residential home.

Emotional Roller Coaster

Natalie described herself as quite emotional. Before evaluation, her moods easily swing uncontrollably between extreme highs and lows. At times, she would yell at people and slam the doors. At other times, she would hide away and cry. She has no real friends in the children’s home or at school. Her relationships with others are fragile. Fortunately, she is naturally active and has won many awards both inside and outside of school, including basketball, soccer, and track and field. She also has a special talent for music, like playing the piano, acoustic guitar and drums. She is truly gifted.

釋放人力資源加強關懷照顧
「對於青少年和兒童來說，家舍不只是提供三餐一宿的居所，更是一個建構安全感和歸屬感的家。」中國基督教播道會播道兒童之家副院長葉國偉解釋道：「以前青少年們需先按門鈴再待職員解鎖，方可出入家舍；現時智能門禁系統則可以讓他們自行進出。雖然只是減省了一、兩個程序，但卻大大提升了他們對家舍的歸屬感，重拾『回家』的感覺。」他補充說：「引入系統前，員工每日需親自以鑰匙或手動按鈕開門不下數百次，嚴重耗費人力且影響照顧專注度；而且傳統鑰匙還存在遺失和複製風險，直接影響家舍安全。」
引入系統後，員工節省下來的人力和時間便可轉化成更貼心的照顧服務。他分享具體事例，「現在當值同事和社工早上能花更多時間陪伴他們吃早餐；晚上則可騰出時間開展小組活動或心理輔導，將節省的時間用於提升服務質素。」
應對開發挑戰重視安全隱私
系統開發歷時一年，過程中機構克服了兩大挑戰，分別是內部缺乏專門的資訊科技職員統籌項目，以及過往不甚認識的安全風險評估審計（SRAA）和隱私影響評估（PIA）要求。葉國偉特別感謝社署在過程中提供了重要支援，好讓機構與機構職員、服務使用者充分溝通，詳細解釋指紋掃描和數據加密等安全要求，化解私隱外泄的疑慮，令各持份者更加安心。
項目的成功激發了播道兒童之家考慮未來進一步申請基金進行其他優化的想法。葉國偉十分推薦其他機構踴躍申請基金資助，「項目內容具彈性，可以度身定製最切合機構需要的方案，是社福界轉型的重要推手。」】轉載香港文匯網內容及相片

Traces of Love – First-generation alumnus, Ms. Polly Wong

Back in the 1970s, a caring ‘big sister’ joined the Evangel Children’s Home (ECH), carrying with her the spirit of family love to nurture the younger ones. On the occasion of ECH’s 70th anniversary, she returned ECH with her newly ordained daughter to visit her ‘younger brothers and sisters.’ Through their artistic creations, they also lend a helping hand to raise funds for the home’s improvement projects, continuing the legacy of love and care.

Polly entered Evangel Children’s Home at the age of one. Then she left the home at 16 and lived with her remarried mother and step-sisters. But she never felt at ease in that unfamiliar household, so she worked hard to earn her own living, determined to fight for her future through her own efforts. Later, she married and moved to the UK, beginning a new chapter in her life. Grateful for the care she received in her childhood at the Home, she now teaches Chinese painting to fellow Chinese who have settled in the UK. In her leisure time, she paints landscapes and dedicates the income from her artwork to give back to her beloved Home (ECH) – expressing her remembrance and support for the next generations with every stroke of her brush. She deeply understands that young people without family’s support often feel lost when facing life’s challenges. Therefore, she frequently donates to support the “2nd Chance in Life–Transitional Youth Sponsorship” Program at ECH.

May Love Be Passed On

On 15th November, 2025, the day of the global alumni reunion event, Polly returned home to celebrate ECH’s 70th anniversary. In an interview, she expressed gratitude to Miss Ruth Sundquist (ECH founder), for raising her, and to the supporters who donated and nurtured her at the ECH, where some children even had the opportunity to study abroad. Thinking back to her childhood, she remembered the joy of visitors coming and treating them with ice cream, it’s moments of pure happiness. With all her heart, she hopes that this generation of children will experience the same love and grow up with wonderful memories.

At the Global Alumni Homecoming Reunion Dinner, the first-generation of alumni (including Polly) came together to sponsor the ‘1-to-1 Program’. Each alumnus invited a current resident child to share the evening, symbolizing the passing on of family love. They hope the children will have happy memories and learn to be grateful as they grow up, so that love can be passed on

Polly’s s daughter, Sissie Wong, has walked with the Lord for 25 years. From her young age, she felt the heavenly calling to dedicate her life to service—beginning in pastoral ministry, then missionary work. In time, God led her back to the UK, where she faithfully served in the church for more than a decade. In September 2025, she was ordained, officially becoming a pastor. Sissie is deeply convinced that her journey of faith has been upheld by the prayers of her mother and Auntie Ruth (Miss Ruth Sundquist—whom she lovingly calls a ‘Woman of God’), whose faithful intercession over the years has covered her and the next generation of ECH alumni.

On the day of the event, she returned with her mother to visit ECH, the place she calls God’s blessed family and home. Seeing the children there today filled her heart with gratitude. Her prayer is that God’s love will continue to be passed down through ECH, from generation to generation.

Evangel Children’s Home – a place that nurtured her growth and blesses future generations. May the children and youth of ECH grow up well and live out a brighter life.

ETNet TV – 說說心理話 – 羅美珍院長分享「最滿足是看到孩子們長大後有好好生活」

專訪播道兒童之家羅美珍院長
主持: 崔潔彤、利嘉敏教授

今集，羅院長繼續分享更多的個案，當中有有趣的，有窩心的，亦有感動的。播道兒童之家院長羅美珍，當了29年院長，她表示最大的動力，是看到孩子們長大之後有好好生活，創傷得以療癒，在播道兒童之家的生活留下快樂的回憶。多方面的努力，讓住宿的孩子可以重回正軌，可以再一次擁有一個開心的人生。

羅美珍院長分享

羅院長覺得童年不快樂，需要用一生來療癒，所以她經常叮囑同事要給孩子一個快樂的回憶，怎樣都要說造就的說話，怎樣都不要說傷害他們的說話。面對來自破碎或有問題家庭的孩子，羅院長覺得要重要是給他們愛，讓他們知道世上還有人是愛他們的。

羅院長感觸孩子們都很希望有一個家，雖然播道兒童之家不是一個真的家，但都想讓他們覺得有「家的感覺」。播道兒童之家就是一些受了童年創傷或是弱勢孩子的第二個家，重新給予他們快樂的童年，可以在愛中好好成長。

曾經有女院友在院舍出嫁，羅院長兩夫婦更做主婚人；另有第一代院友捐贈了位於九龍城一個2,000呎的物業給播道兒童之家作「青年家舍」，讓過了18歲的院友可以較低費用過渡自立生活；他們應該都一早把播道兒童之家當作真正的家了！

播道兒童之家成立了70年，羅院長更分享在去年(2024年) 有第一代70多歲的院友回饋捐贈了兩所物業給播道兒童之家作「青年家舍」，是一種一代傳一代、承傳的愛。

利嘉敏教授Kaman分享

在心理上的角度，一個人感覺到有人愛他，這個能量是很大的。對一個人來說，有一個原因去繼續活著，這個動力很重要。相反地，當一個人覺得這個世界沒有人愛他，他基本上可以自我放棄，所以愛是很重要的。

ETNet TV – 說說心理話 – 羅美珍院長分享「如何從小孩子的行為察覺他們心理上有壓力？」

專訪播道兒童之家羅美珍院長
主持: 崔潔彤、利嘉敏教授

播道兒童之家院長羅美珍，當了29年院長，數十年照顧來自破碎家庭的兒童及青少年，他們都面對著不同的問題，例如家暴、父母吸毒或坐監等，當中亦有部份是孤兒。羅院長跟大家分享當中遇過最難忘的個案。羅院長及利嘉敏教授亦會分享如何從孩子的異常行為觀察出他們正面對壓力問題，原來及早發現、及早治療，可以減低50%惡化的可能性，家長們要好好學起來！

羅美珍院長分享

羅院長分享其中一個最困難的是孩子第一次踏入院舍時，來到一個陌生的地方，同工如何可以令他們留下來安心居住。因為很多孩子都有創傷的經驗，需要很多的安撫，給予他們很多安全感，並藉著信仰 (祈禱、講故事等) 慢慢讓他們感覺到安全地留下來。曾經有一個孩子不喜歡入住院舍，又不喜歡上學，他說話時會不自覺地拔眉毛、眼眉毛及頭髮，原來是一種壓力的表現。

利嘉敏教授Kaman分享

Kaman表示當小孩子承受住不懂得表達的壓力，會有一些前驅症 (即表現行為)，當孩子有行為開始異常、改善了自我照顧的習慣 (例如突然不喜歡沖涼)、感觀(視覺、聽覺、味覺) 異常，以及情緒起伏比較大，如持續地發生可能已經是告訴我們精神狀態出現了變化，家長要加以注意。Kaman提及在前期的時候及早發現精神病患，可以把他們情況惡化的可能性減低50%。
